Built this for the Figma Config Makeathon — first time using Figma Make, first time using Figma period.

The problem:

I needed a fast way to create Reels and Stories for my tattoo flash designs. Every tool that does cost $$ and takes time to learn. I just wanted to drop in my art and make things move.

What it does: Uploads flash design/image, layer animated text behind and in front of it, swap backgrounds, add overlay elements, adjust everything — then hit fullscreen and record your screen. Done. Made it lean at first so I didn't waste credits,

What I learned: Figma Make is genuinely wild. The co-creation loop with the agent is fast and easy. I've been building Tattoo Booking Shop solo for a while — Bubble, Flutter, Stripe, the whole stack — and this was a completely different kind of building.

More to come. Let me know what you think

Built this for one reason: to animate text on tattoo flash designs. I wanted to post my flash on Instagram without learning a whole tool. Drop in an image, add text behind it, move it, animate it — tweak colors, swap in a background image or video, add elements, adjust placement. When you’re done…

For this challenge, I wanted to show that AI doesn’t replace creativity, it expands it.

Using Envato as my creative toolkit, I built every part of this project, from the visuals and branding to the sound and motion. The most important part wasn’t generating ideas, but deciding which ones deserved to become the final story.

Human by Design. 🧡

Working on a landing page, and while doing so, playing with AI to try out new ways of doing things. Spent some time this morning tweaking this halftone generator, so I can easily create on-brand images over & over. Tried Figma's beta Agent first, ended up back with Claude. Who else likes to play around like this on the weekends?
